The only addition to this limited color class since the issuance of our last catalog is the much heralded Black Opal. 
Though not as rich in texture as Dr. Hoeg it opens a larger number of florets. Unusually smooth toned and vigorous 
this season was Kaylor's Leschi. Uganda, though very near black, seems a hopelessly weak grower.

Following an inclination to put several of the deeper scarlet-reds into the red class we have included Regent 
here this year. Memory of Hindenburg has yet to show that it is the equal of Commander Koehl. Rewi Fallu must be 
considered purely a fancier's flower. The excellent spikes of it displayed at the Winnipeg show this year did not sur¬ 
pass the spikes of Commander Koehl also there on display.

Perhaps we shall some day divide the scarlet class which now seems almost top-heavy with fine glads into two 
groups, one the regular scarlets and the other a group of scarlet pinks to include a group which are right on the line 
between light scarlet and deep pink. For instance, the introducer describes Aladdin as salmon pink, but all those 
we grew or that 1 saw this season were definitely light scarlet. Other sorts which show this variation depending on 
climate and soil are J. S. Bach, Red Phipps, Rosamond, Valeria, Luxor, and, to dip into the salmon pink class, Recovery 
and Sardis.
